Understanding Student Registration Responsibilities Be Prepared To ensure a successful registration, meet with your adviser before registering. If consent is required for a course, be certain you have a permission number from the college or department office. Complete a Schedule Planning Grid (PDF) and include some alternate courses in case your first choices are not available. Check If You Have Completed the Prerequisites You are responsible to be certain you have completed the necessary course prerequisites before enrolling in a course. For example, you must take ENGL 1: Rhetoric and Composition 1 before you can register for ENGL 2: Rhetoric and Composition 2. CheckMarq checks for some but not all prerequisites when you register. Make All Changes to Your Course Registration Changes to your registration and confirmation of the course sections for which you are officially registered are your responsibility. You may make changes in your registration and confirm your schedule of courses via CheckMarq any time during Early, Interim, and Late Registration. Register Before Attending a Course You may not attend any section of a course for which your are not officially registered. There are no exceptions to this policy. It is your responsibility to be certain that you are officially registered before the close of Late Registration for every course section you are taking, no matter who incorrectly tells you that you may attend the course section without being officially registered! The university reserves the right to refuse to grant credit for completion of any course section for which as of the close of Late Registration you are not officially registered. Make Sure Your Schedule Reflects the Right Courses All courses for which you are officially registered as of the close of Late Registration are subject to fee assessment and payment, and as such to appear as part of your permanent record — even if you do not attend any sessions of the class. Therefore, to avoid unnecessary fee charges and unnecessary courses with permanent grades of UW, WA, or F on your permanent record, it is your responsibility to be certain that before Late Registration ends your official registration accurately reflects only those courses for which you plan to enroll.
